TV series True Blood

[lauranna]

Well, the Vampire rights stuff has always been semi-analogous to gay rights (the "GOD HATES FANGS" thing in the opening sequence makes that blatantly clear) and the church in season 2 was pretty clearly a kind of Westboro Baptist Church thing, and the thing about vampire acceptance and PR was pretty major in the last two seasons.

I guess it just doesn't seem that much more pronounced to me personally. Not that it matters, because as I noted earlier the show is playing on my last nerve either way.

I watched the first series... i wasn't enamoured enough to hunt out the second....

I agree with you about the vampire/gay analogy. A lot of the political side of True blood resonates with me as similar to the gay rights battle.

I like the show to an extent. It's a bit soap operaish (like [MENTION=6643]Fluffywolf[/MENTION] said), and I kind of feel that my enjoyment is a bit of a dirty little secret. Like gorging on junk food.
Some of it annoys the hell outa me though. Tara can be annoying. In a, "really? *sigh*" sort of way. Sookie, Bill. Yea I get pretty irritated with them. I hate how he says her name. Sookie. And what sort of name is that anyway?
Normally, once an episode, I have take a small break to rant about it. My INTP is very long suffering.

But I still like it. Even though it makes me want to throw things.

I am a big fan of this tv show. I have watched season one with full episodes. This is awesome tv show according to me.My whole family love this show. My young brother is totally crazy about this tv show.

FINALLY it is starting to get interesting again; especially the new development with bill. I really disliked the " I"M COMING FOR YOU" scene with sooki. Very lame. I wish the fairies would disappear already, why do they have to make everything so cheesy when they're in the picture?

Wtf was grandma thinking bringing emma to that meeting? dumb bitch

I got into that show from around Mar. to July of 2009. I was living in a motel then that had HBO. I haven't watched any episodes since that year. Stephen Moyer can cover up his English accent well.

Fuckin' love me some Russell Edgington.

Russell Edgington is probably THE ENFP villain on TV these days.

I could be wrong about his typing though. It's just a feeling. Hard to pin an MBTI type on him because he is batshit crazy.

 

[Anew Leaf]

Fuckin' love me some Russell Edgington.

I agree! He's about the only good thing in the series this season... The plots are so boring otherwise... >_<

I hope they keep him around for another season.

Sookie drives me freakin nuts!! Why is the whole show revolved around her!?
Pam is so badass tho...Love her

Ferries aren't seeming very powerful at all tho if the oldest one just got drained so easily shit.

Sookie is the best type of protagonist for a series such as this. When the whole world around her is changing, when everyone around her is taking sides, when every influential to common man one encounters wants to rule the world, Sookie simply wants to survive and protect her loved ones around her. She has no agenda, she has no idealistic goals, she just wants to survive. In a world such as a True Blood reality I would imagine she is the one whom we could relate to the most.

She is infact a rare ESFJ character that Hollywood never seem to enjoy making. I really like her. But her scenes with with Bill and Eric are so fucking annoying. Bill try to vomit his ancient heart out which has repressed love for so long and that stupid Eric tries to seduce everyone around him which is rather disgusting!

True Blood Finale Chit-Chat!

I thought this season was overall really boring. The only storylines that were remotely interesting were Tara as a vamp, and the concept of a war starting between humans and vampires. Wolves/shifters = Boring, Ifrit/Terry = Fire the writer who came up with that crap, The fairy pregnancy/Andy = weird, The fairies = over the top annoying and stupid, the Vampire Authority = interesting at first but then lagged in a vast land of nothing for too many episodes. Russell's death was completely anticlimatic for me. Also, I love him. :C

The pacing was horrible. The first 7 episodes were slow and the last 3 had almost too much going on in them.

I was so happy to see Bill die! However, now I predict a Darth Vader and Luke storyline next year where Sookie will endeavor to save Bill's soul from whatever the fuck that thing was.

I see some good potential for season 6 if they focus on a war between vampires and humans. However, none of the vampires seemed to have figured out the idea of "if you kill all humans then you have no more food/reproductive options left."

My big complaint for the show overall is that too little time passes.

The End.

first of all! no riva just no. she makes my skin crawl!!

secondly!! omg!!that last scene!! and...how lame was the ferries scene??

I just tuned in after a 2 year hiatus and I was like wtf?? It really sucks now. Especially the souther baptist vampire politicians and cult shit. Really bad acting and story arcs/writing

Yeah... I have to sadly concur, and I haven't even seen any of Season 5. (I've only ever watched the show once everything's on dvd...)

I actually just finished season 4, and the final episode was rather painful to watch and I don't even think I have much interest in buying season 5 when it comes out. It's just suddenly gone way downhill. I thought seasons 1 and 2 were very good, I was kind of 'meh' about season 3 but it was still entertaining, and even season 4 was ok/entertaining, but I don't know what the hell happened in the final couple of episodes especially (storylines)... it's almost embarrassing to watch. Boo!

I cannot believe they killed Russell Motherfuckin' Edgington.

 

[figsfiggyfigs]

Not only did they kill him; but they killed him in such an uneventful way. He was his strongest at that point yet e was surprised by prissy eric and his small wooden sick.
I was SO disappointed when bill re-rose, although I expected and knew they can't kill of a major character cause hallo dis ain't da games of thrones!
Tara and Pam kissing was disturbing. Although I really like the new tara compared to the old tara, she's nothing compared to Pam. Also, Pam doesn't do feelings. Director trickery!
I liked Sam shifting inside of that vampire. Made me laugh how casual and loving of a response he got from the lady shifter while he was covered in guts and blood.
I'm getting sick of the alcied new chick drama. It's like they couldn't find anyone who did not resemble his ex. She looks just like her, even that trashy lookin' mug.
bill bill bill; I wonder what being God means for the next season. Hmm. Poor Jessica an her Godly father

Boo!

Season one and two stuck much closer to the original story in the books; after that, there was a huge u-turn. I assume the divergence was to milk the sookie stackhouse series for as many supernatural related seasons as possible.

Another question: Where's Warlow? (Or whatever the fuck his name is.) They build up all that crap and it just fizzles out. Lame.
